About this map

Foggy Bay and Very Inlet define the intricate maritime landscape of this coastal section within the Tongass National Forest. Situated in the Prince of Wales-Hyder region, the geography is characterized by the complex waterways of the Alexander Archipelago and the prominent cluster of the De Long Islands. The coastline is marked by significant landmarks like Foggy Point, where the land meets the tidal waters of the Pacific.

Inland, the elevation climbs toward High Mtn, illustrating the steep, timbered terrain that makes this part of Alaska unique. The absence of established roads or settlements on the map emphasizes the wilderness character of the forest, which is managed through township designations such as t79s r96e and t80s r97e. Researchers can study the untouched natural shoreline and the various small islands that populate the bay area.
